Tanking Guide
A guide for the Main Scene - By Leaks
Starter Tips
Keep your inventory neat
When you are practicing your combo eats, you never want to struggle to know what is where. It doesn’t really matter what you keep where, keep it neat and consistent so you develop some good muscle memory for your ease. Shark, brew, karam, p neck all lined up! Restores ready to save you from getting smited.
Keep your sounds on
When you hear that ice barrage and those bolts landing, you know you are being targeted. Without sounds, it is much harder to see what is happening to you before it is too late to react. This will be your middle sound bar. Keep your sounds on and learn to use them, as they are a very important tool in your pking shed.
Keep your f-keys set
F-Keys are a requirement for tanking. I would recommend my personal settings for F-Keys.
- F4 : Inventory ( Pointer )
- F3 : Prayers ( Middle )
- F2 : Spellbook ( Ring )
- F1 : Spectab ( Pinky )
- F5 : Equipment ( Pointer )
- esc : World Hop ( Pinky )
Use your pointer finger for F4 and middle finger for F3. These will be the only two keys you will need for tanking. You can also reconfigure the placement of prayers with RuneLite client. This may make it easier for you to switch between eating and praying. 
Process
Put on your tank armour
If you are wearing full mystics, wearing your d’hide and granite/rune legs may be much better for you to mitigate damage. This should happen as an instinct, the second you hear the ice barrage and the bolts being fired at you, it means you are the next target and people are going to burst you down. If you are wearing armour with low defences, you will put yourself at a significant disadvantage and will die much faster. 
Put protection prayers on
Protection prayers reduce 40% of the damage of a specific style, they are arguably more important than food.
- Protect range : Use this 80% of the time, as range will be the highest dps in most combat situations. The only exception being barrage clumps. 
- Protect melee : When you see someone run up to you, don’t let him spec you out a 73. Melee weapons, with their specs, have the highest burst damage. 
- Protect mage : Escape crowd control. The more you are running around, the less people are onto you. You mess with the enemy’s positioning if they chase you, or force them to switch targets. You will take more damage, so eat accordingly.
Combo eat
By the time you react to knowing that you are being targeted, you would have suffered heavy damage. Combo eat shark>brew>karam>p-neck. This is to stabilise your hp heaps, but it will remove a lot of high healing/tick food from your inventory. This is most effective when done in a single tick.
Survival
Pay attention to enemy attack styles
Usually there will be all three combat styles onto you, but one style will be used as the majority. This will usually be either range or melee. Protection prayers offer more survivability than food at times! Switch them accordingly. F-keys are highly advised for this, as you will be needing to switch between inventory for food and prayers for protection.
Eating types
You have your high healing/tick food, which is your combo eating. You also have your high healing/inventory food, which is you spamming brews. Conserve your heal/tick food for clutch moments, and your healing/inventory food for when you are high hp. You should not be wasting your sharks and karambs if you don’t have to. Always make sure you are wearing a P-neck. Also make sure you are appropriately anti-fired and anti-venomed. One lucky hit can kill you if you are not careful. 
Pay attention to your prayer level
You get smited out and you are as good as dead. No protection prayers will leave you naked, and worse, will mean that you lose your +1 item if you were in the wildy. Always glance over to your prayer points. This is similar to when you play League of Legends for some of you. Glance over to your minimap every few seconds to keep yourself safe!

Apex HQ:

A lot of Action this week! The 4th week of Vengeance rebuild is in the books and momentum continues in the right direction. Plenty of pking, community events, and good times had. We acquired our 8th AGS in 4 weeks along with a bunch of other +1s, singles pkers, and juicy looties. For you Zerks/Tanks/Meds its never to late to join in on the action head over to Veng forums and get that app in today 
Couple of our loots from the week and a short little video of a 12 v 22 that we baited into a an ez clear. 
 





















 
 

salso and all the other phoenix guys. Your talents are being wasted in supremacy.

To start, we caught Sup chillin in the choke at revs and gave them a quick Honey Sandwich.

We then went on to do 2 sets of mini's resulting is 6-0 rounds.
 GF fellas  (no flame intended here)
@OI_VC beautiful PoV
 

cool
 
any chance of making the theme a fixed like 1200px or w/e size instead of the fluid 95~%? 

We coming back strong  
Also, we now have a Clan Friend rank and have a Multi-Clanning policy that might interest some of you.

Really nice gfx Maxx, keep it up!

From my point of view, coming from Zybez, it's odd to adjust to having the aftermath/events sections separate from the discussion sections. It'd make more sense as:
Clan Discussion (Just a forum category, no topics)
--Mains (this would function as the clan discussion board for mains)
----Wild Events
----CWA Events
--Pures (this would function as clan discussion for pures)
----Wild events
----CWA events
----Whatever other subforums you need for pure clans
--Recruitment
----Pures
----Mains
----Whatever other sub sections you need for different clan types
I agree with a lot of what Winnetou said:
-The index is cluttered, fragmented and disorganised and could do with a restructure.
-There's too many sidebars.
-It's got an "unprofessional" feel too it which might be what you're going for but I know a lot of main clans moved away from the colourful icons, flairs, Jaggy rule breaking ads and shit like that a long time ago.
-Some sigs are obnoxiously large and you could do with discussing some kind of limit.
 

This is spot on @slushpuppy

Runite clans? ah yes sign me up. 

Nice title pun @Sybren

Clans got the stinger ay, gj Misfits 
gf @Sybren

maat wie maakt die sigs die zijn echt ziek stuur ff pm

@Kanicus @Zee topic typo, you fought some Turmoil in your vids/pic . It's not because someone has 'Veng' in their name that they're actually in our clan as well,
 
Other than that Good Job on the action! Keep it up!
Ps Love the new animated banner!

Exactly what I was going to write  But in a 4n way

gj @Sybren
